Kernel-Power Event ID 41 (Blackscreen and Fans up)

A few days ago I ran into a Problem while playing R6 my screens went black and the fans went up like crazy but the pc was still running and I still heard game Audio, I had to manually shut it down (power button). After the second time this happened I started investigating, I didn’t receive an error code but in the PC Management I got “Kernel-Power Event ID 41” (all Event Data are 0 or false). So I started Troubleshooting…

The things I tired so far:

  • Updating all driver
  • Turned off fast starting
  • Ran a GPU stress test
  • Did a memtest
  • Reinstalled Windows
  • Bought and build in a new power supply (old: Focus GX-550 new: Pure Power 12M 750w)
  • Bought new RAM (old: Gskill Aegis DDR4 16GB new: Corsair Vengeance DDR4 32GB)
  • Updated the BIOS (B450 Tomahawk max Version: 7C02v3J)

None of these did anything. I recreated this error about 15 times and it seems to only occur when I run a somewhat heavy game/program I cloud recreate the error in the following games:

  • God of war 2018 (by far the fastest max 2min)
  • R6
  • Overwatch

It always the exact same black screen and the fans are going up but the pc is still active, I have to shut it down manually. I also tired letting it run in this state but nothing happened for like 5min so I decided to shut it down.

Thanks in advance for any advice
